WARNINGS & CAUTIONS
Do not charge batteries other than nickel-metal hydride (NiMH). The unit is equipped with
rechargeable (NiMH) batteries, but can operate with non-rechargeable alkaline or lithium batteries. If
using the unit with batteries other than NiMH rechargeables, do not use the wall AC/DC adapter since
such attempt to charge non-rechargeable batteries can create an unsafe situation with the potential for
injury to the device and its operator.
Cuff Only. This port is solely intended for connection of a CritterCuff, a CritterCuff Extension
Hose or a RamseyCuff. Do not connect anything else to this port, especially an IV tube since that would
potentially result in air being pumped into the patient with potentially fatal results. Also, fluid ingress
through this port into the unit will result in severe damage to the unit.
IMPORTANT: For accurate BP readings with petMAP+II, only Ramsey Medical, Inc. CritterCuffs and
RamseyCuffs should be used. Improper cuff size and improper cuff fit will result in inaccurate (or no) BP
readings. petMAP requires a cuff whose width is approximately 42 - 50% of the circumference of the
forearm, the hind foot, or the tail of the animal. The index line on the cuff should fall within the
“OPTIMUM zone” shown by the dotted lines on the cuff, but NEVER outside of the solid boundary lines.
For proper fit, the cuff must be snug, but not painfully tight (see CritterCuff information).
Only the AC/DC adapter supplied with petMAP+II should be used to charge the unit. The unit is
factory equipped with 4 AA NiMH rechargeable batteries. The factory batteries can be replaced by the
user with new NiMH rechargeable batteries when the charge life of the factory supplied batteries is
